But he couldn't stand it and someone else gave him another set, which was in the original French Concession. At first, it was lived in by a nobleman from France who wanted to see what the Far East was like. It was a luxurious place inside. But later, the little devil ignored that and directly invaded the French Concession. In order to take refuge, the French aristocrat sold the house at a low price and ran away.
Later, the Wang Puppet and the Japs reached an agreement to return the concession. Another person with Wang Puppet officialdom took notice of him and sold him. Now he asked the boy's father for a message and sold the house to the boy's father at a "high price" in one sentence. To put it in words, it’s just a mansion, it’s not an exaggeration at all.
And they have a reasonable basis: "The eldest niece is getting engaged. As an uncle, isn't it normal for me to give Feifei a house? Besides, everyone knows that I just like all kinds of things." The houses are designed by different countries and have different styles. So the house here is not valuable to me. It is really not expensive. In addition, I am giving it to Feifei. You can collect it for the child. Who can tell me? Secondly. Wouldn’t it be good if the house deed and land title were changed directly to Feifei’s?”
Take it! It’s you who consumes it anyway. Am I afraid of you? What kind of chaos is it now, check? Can you check it?
Therefore, that house belongs directly to Fan Keqin and Miss Tong, and it is regarded as a new house. It's being renovated now.
Fan Keqin doesn't have much interest in sashimi. But if you are eating with Father Tong and Miss Tong, you still have to show that you like it. Otherwise, if someone asks you to come over for dinner, but you feel unwilling to eat at all, what will happen?
After eating and drinking, the boy's father took Fan Keqin to the study room to enjoy some manly time with cigars and red wine. Miss Tong didn’t participate either.
After both of them lit up their cigars, the boy's father said, "It's such a mess outside, so you two have to be careful outside."
Fan Keqin nodded and said: "Yes, the current situation is getting more and more chaotic. I don't know what's going on. There is no peace at all."
"Hmph." The boy's father sneered and said: "How can we be stable? Japan, the New Government, and Chiang Kai-shek, if these forces don't lie down, this chaos will never end." He took a breath of smoke and said again : "Originally, you two should get married directly. But it's good now, and the same goes for getting engaged. This situation is so chaotic. It's really hard to say what will happen in the future. Especially our family. Ah Heng, is there anything? What are your future plans?”
Fan Keqin said: "It's really hard to say. You must not be talking about me and Xiao Fei. It's just because the current situation is too chaotic, so I don't know what goals I should set for the future."
"Yeah." The boy's father agreed: "Goals...it's a good thing to be able to set goals. But you're right, it's too chaotic. How can I plan for the future? Just like me...others look at me as if I have been promoted. As the Deputy Minister of Finance, he has unlimited glory, but on the other hand, he has to bear enough pressure. If nothing else... After Wang Zhaohai's death, this mess is even worse now. Think about it, how should we deal with this mess? Let it become moldy? Impossible. The Japanese must not let it rot and mold completely.
However, after the Japanese deal with it, will it be completely cured? It's just as impossible. Ah Heng, during this time, I finally realized that the Japanese are really going to lose their vitality this time. Even if this mess is settled, it still won't work. Because to quell this kind of thing, the price is not something that Japan, an already poor country, can afford. "
As he said that, the boy's father took another puff on the cigar, held it in his mouth for a while, sprayed it out, and said, "So we all have to make plans for the future."
Fan Keqin frowned and said: "Can you? The Japanese... Indeed, it is an island country and does not have many resources. But it is also the number one military power in Asia. Can it be over like this?"
"Just watch." The boy's father said: "The ancestors have long concluded that illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like a thread. There is another saying, organizing a family is like a needle picking up dirt, and losing a family is like a wave pushing away sand. This Although the process will not cause Japan to die instantly, it will definitely cause a serious illness, and it is an incurable illness.
In addition, outside, so many military powers in Europe and the United States, especially the United States, are advancing step by step in the Pacific battlefield. It can be said that if all the conditions are combined, Japan will definitely be doomed. "
Having said this, the boy's father looked at Fan Keqin and said: "For example, some time ago, before Wang Zhaohai's death, I inspected the secret mint factory, and I was still stepping up the printing of fake legal currency, so as to financially support Jiang Zhengfu. It created a dilemma. But what about now? When I went there again, people were panicked and efficiency was low. Haha, many people stopped working."
Fan Keqin said: "This... I can't comment. After all, it's confidential, right?"
"Secret?" The child's father said, "It used to be considered confidential, but now, a department that only has a name is not considered confidential."
The boy's father showed emotion on his face and said: "Did you see it? Even some of the workers below know how to retreat bravely. What about us? We can't just run into the dark all the time. We have to make plans in advance."
Fan Keqin said: "Uncle Tong, when you say make early plans, do you mean... for the long term?"
The boy's father said: "Let's stop playing charades. What I'm talking about is that once Japan is defeated... in the eyes of others, will our puppet government still exist? Then, everything will have to be liquidated. That's why I said, The bigger the official, the greater the pressure.”
Fan Keqin frowned and said: "Then... what should we do? Uncle Tong, our family has a big business. If we liquidate... finances are small, but human life is big. I can't put it politely. For such a big official like you... In the eyes of Jiang Zhengfu, you are... a target that must be dealt with. If something happens to you, Feifei will be heartbroken. I feel like you said you had planned ahead. That’s right, but we don’t have many opportunities here.”
After hearing this, the boy's father nodded and said: "It must be Feifei. Ah? Didn't you start a drug smuggling business? There are a lot of Huang An powder in it, which has flowed into the territory controlled by Jiang Zhengfu. …It’s hard to explain, it’s our way.”
"Oh." Fan Keqin said: "Yes, you can really use your brains in this regard. Then let Feifei contact that side later? In fact, the boss Yisan Chunyi... seems to have a close relationship with that side. He I bought the most Huang'an powder, and the direction of transportation is that side... If it doesn't work, let's try it with him, what do you think, Uncle Tong?"
